There's a second choice afterwards regarding if you don't mind or don't want to know the details. Does that one have an effect?

Trying to split them up will just make you seem worse in their eyes. They already have an established relationship and you're basically this new guy they barely trust coming in and trying to get involved.

Because it's not really between you and them as individuals.
In the harem path, they're a pair, the same way you and Maria are a pair, and how the two of you and Emilia are a throuple - unlike the traditional harem setup, where the MC is the No. 1 of every girl, you're just the No 1 of Maria and Emilia, and they're each others No 1, and the 3+2 of you form something enjoyable for all of you - it's an extension of their relationship (et vice versa).
I haven't played the non-harem paths, but my intuition would be:
- If they get together, but you don't support them fully, they'd probably less inclined to link up, obviously.
- If they don't get together, they're probably still more concerned with each other than wanting to join an existing couple/throuple who're clearly and intensely in love with each other - remember, you're not doing the usual "I'm the MC recruiting members for my harem" thing.
That's exactly it - if you're not supportive of their love for each other at all (or, arguably worse, say you support it but "don't want to see it"), why would they ever trust you, let alone want to be with you intimately as well?
It's real world logic, not stupid porn logic or whiny incel logic.

Yeah, one beer in the club less. One have to set priorities.
Interestingly enough, this is probably a more realistic representation of what consensual non-monogamy or polyamory between 5 people would look like compared to the typical "4 girls all only love the MC" harem or "everyone loves everyone equally" quintuple often seen. I can appreciate that.

Quick follow-up on this topic: just because there's a pretty distinct relationship hierarchy right now doesn't mean things can't become more equitable in the future. It's likely not an accident that the strongest bonds between MC and Maria and between Lune and Zaya are the ones that have existed in some form for 10+ years. It wouldn't surprise me if in the epilogue the newer bonds continue to grow in strength until there's less of a difference (even if they never become entirely equal).
On an aside, Emilia's pretty happy being the wife-approved mistress right now. But they're essentially making their own mini-society separate from the main Godsland group. Whose too say they don't decide polyamorous marriage could become a thing? Just idle speculation of course.

that might be true, and as someone who enjoys harem, I'm gratefull, but It was never the objective of this, the story is more concieved as a monogamous one with only Maria as your significant other, but yeah given how Pandaman handled this the outcome what you describe is withing the posibilitys.

Thinking back to the early chapters and how Maria and the MC had to be incredibly careful with even their platonic friendship and how it would be seen to others, I can 100% see a scenario where the new society pivots hard away from monogamy.
Technically, if you're on the throuple or harem route it's no longer monogamous but more of a hierarchal polyamory. At present, Maria is definitely the primary partner and Emilia a secondary partner, with Luna and Zaya potentially becoming tertiary partners. It seems like the agreement between Maria and Emilia isn't likely to result in them becoming truly equitable in the short term (if ever), but the relationship is so new that it's hard to predict what the structure might look like 1, 5, 10, or more years from now as the newer bonds strengthen and they raise children together.
This is especially true given how much more sexually open the Remnants appear to be. The MC, Maria, and Emilia are still somewhat shaking off their old beliefs and might become increasingly open to new ideas as they spend more and more time interacting with their society. I'm not saying I expect polyamorous marriage to become common necessarily, but since they're essentially establishing a new society that includes people with rather progressive views, the opportunity is there.

Duuhh but I have a save for the Maria Monogamous and I behaved as her hubby.My point is that Pandamann as he started the story was thought to be Monogame, later he added the Poly in and I¡m gratefull for that Love all of them Zaya, Emilia, Maria and the Remenant girl.-
And even on the Poly path it is a wholesome Story which I enjoy on each update .

I know the AIs have enhanced the MC, but this seems like a little too much.
So no resting whatsoever for a few days in a row?
